Department of Women and Child Development Puducherry Recruitment 2025 – 618 Anganwadi Worker & Helper Posts

Local women from Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe, and Yanam seeking to contribute to community-level child development and maternal care. Suitable for individuals with Class XII or a basic degree looking for entry-level, socially impactful work within their locality, often as a supplementary source of income.

Individuals seeking a permanent government post with regular pay scales, benefits, and significant career progression. Not suitable for primary breadwinners due to the low honorarium. Candidates residing outside the Union Territory of Puducherry should not apply, as local residency is a typical prerequisite for such roles.

The role is under a key government department and part of the nationally significant Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) scheme, offering high social respect at the community level. However, it is a contractual, grassroots position with limited scope for internal promotion or transition into mainstream permanent government cadres. Experience gained is valuable for careers in the social work and NGO sectors.
